Previously, she has served as a pastor at College View Church and Paw Paw Adventist Church as well as a chaplain at Southern Adventist University.

A modified class schedule will be in effect during the mornings.<br /> <br /> <strong>Monday: "Forgiven/Forgiving"</strong><br /> Most of the pain we live with is misidentified and is actually rooted in our burdened consciences. Live forgiven; live forgiving; live free.<br /> <br /> <strong>Tuesday: "Clear Eyes"</strong><br /> We need a clear vision of the character of Christ so we can have a clear vision of Christ in us (a.k.a. holiness).<br /> <br /> <strong>Wednesday: "No Bitter Root"</strong><br /> Unforgiveness is a pervasive source of pain and sin in human lives. Christ will remove that bitter root from the heart.<br /> <br /> <strong>Thursday: "Counting the Cost, Paying the Price"</strong><br /> To forgive others requires facing the losses we've incurred and then finding our repair in Christ.<br /> <br /> <strong>Friday Morning: "Forgiving Myself"</strong><br /> Often the person we’re least ready to forgive is ourselves. But in Christ, by faith, we allow His verdict to overturn our own.</p> <p> <br /> <strong>Evening Prayer Gatherings</strong><br /> <em>Meet in front of Pioneer Memorial Church</em><br /> 7:30 p.m.</p> <p> Each evening, we will meet with fellow college students and church members for a time of prayer.
